Upwards of six feet high at the. miAn OF A RHINOCEROS shoulders and about thirteen feet in extreme length, it is a ridiculous, yet awe-inspiring, sight to watch one charging along with short stubby tail angrily erect, the big ungainly body supported on short and seem- ingly inadequate legs. The head is large and long wnth small eyes placed well on the side. Their sight is very ]^oor and this fact has saved many a nian's life who had the presence of mind to lie down when facing a charge. How^ever, their scent is so keen that it nearly compensates for the poor eyesight. The rhinoceros is bad tempered.
